Hi everyone, Maggie here!
It’s my turn this week so I’ve prepared a tutorial on
how to Make a Centre Step Card.
You’ll need:
Piece of card measuring 6x9.5inch.
Scoring tool and scoring board – I’ve used a box maker by Crafter’s Companion
Craft Knife and a steel edge ruler
(This is the box maker. The score lines are approx. 1 inch apart)
I’ve used the ‘Box Lid’ side of the box maker.
Put your piece of card on the scoring board ‘right side’ down.
Score at the 2nd and the 8th line from the left.
4th, 8th and 10th line from the left but make sure you DO NOT go from one edge to the other.
Using your craft knife and a steel edge ruler cut where it’s marked in RED.
This is what you should end up with after cutting...
Turn the piece of card upside down
(The right side up!)
(The right side up!)
And fold where you can see score lines.
The first set of score lines should be a mountain fold...
The first set of score lines should be a mountain fold...
The second a valley fold...
The remaining two mountain folds...
This is it!
Top Tip...
Valley Fold - like a V...fold from the base up.
Mountain Fold - Like an M...fold from the top down.
It’s up to you how you embellish your card!
Now let's see the rest of the team's offerings for our 'Thank You' cards.
Some have followed my Tutorial - I hope you do too ;)

Tip: To complete the card use some of the same decorations on the inside as well as the outside.

Tip: For more depth, the top and/or bottom of image can hang over center of the step card

We hope you've enjoyed our Tutorial this week and really look forward to seeing your Centre Step Cards.
Don't forget we want to see your Top Tips too - however big or small they are!
It's amazing how many people add a tip in their write up and don't even realise it!
